For nursing mothers looking to support milk supply

Breastfeeding Support is formulated to support healthy milk production and nursing wellness. With galactagogue herbs traditionally used to enhance milk quality and quantity, this tea is designed as a daily ritual during the nursing journey—from early lactation through weaning.

Why Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding Support is for nursing mothers who want to optimize milk supply naturally. Whether you're establishing lactation in the first weeks, maintaining supply through growth spurts, or supporting long-term nursing, this blend provides consistent herbal nourishment. Begin drinking in the first week postpartum and continue throughout your nursing journey. Most effective when used consistently, 1–2 cups daily.

This tea is safe to drink while nursing and will not harm your baby.

Botanical Research

Fenugreek — One of the most clinically researched galactagogues. Studies show fenugreek can increase milk supply within 24–72 hours when used consistently. Rich in minerals and traditionally used across many cultures to support lactation.

Nettle Leaf — Highly nutritive and mineral-rich, nettle supports overall postpartum recovery and sustained milk production. Traditionally used by nursing mothers for generations.

Fennel — A gentle galactagogue and digestive support. Fennel seed is traditionally used to support milk flow and ease any digestive tension in nursing mothers. Also passes into breast milk with gentle digestive benefits for baby.

Rose Petals — Antioxidant-rich and adds gentle floral lift; traditionally associated with nourishing postpartum recovery.

Aniseed Myrtle — A warm, slightly sweet spice that complements the blend and adds gentle digestive support.

Brewing

Steep 1 teaspoon per 200ml of hot water for 5–7 minutes. Drink hot or cold, 1–2 cups daily. Many mothers find it most supportive as a morning and evening ritual. Can be enjoyed cold as iced tea during warmer months.

A 2018 meta analysis [1] found 5 studies with 122 participants receiving treatment with fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum). Four of these studies found fenugreek significantly increased the amount of breast milk production.

A 2018 study [2] with 64 breastfeeding mothers with premature babies found nettle tea (Urtica dioica) increased breast milk production by 50% relative to the control group. A 2018 study [3] found that fennel and fenugreek were equally effective in increasing lactation.

Aniseed (Pimpinella anisum) contains anethole- a phytoestrogen that has a very long history of being used as a galactagogue (a food or drug that promotes or increases the flow of a mother's milk) in Persian traditional medicine [4]. Caraway seeds (Carum carvi) have been used in Persian traditional medicine to stimulate breast milk at low doses. We use a small amount of caraway seeds as some research suggests that it increases breast milk production if a small amount is taken but has the opposite effect at very high doses [5].
